To be fair, since when were the away teams ever allowed to bring their mascots with them? Why should 'Brumby Jack' be running around the sidelines of a Waratahs home semi?

What harm does it do?
Besides which it just provides a basis for the continuing argument that the Tahs are the big brother trying to bully the upstart little brother and thereby provides a potential additional basis for motivation of the Brums.
Not sure why we need to draw lines in the sand that just don't matter - maybe when this monkey is off their back but right now it would pay to be generous in spirit - at least outside the team.

You mean besides him vomiting on the sidelines?
Seriously, when was the last time we saw 'Tahman' at a Brumbies or Reds game?

We all have bad days!
2 wrongs don't make a right - are you sure the Tahs have the wherewithal to fly Tahman to Brisvegas?
It just seems petty and his presence might add to the occasion.
Depending on the result you could have a greeny cull him at full time!

We don't condone that sort of thing around here.
A google search might condone that sort of thing.........

We could probably arrange for the intern to drive him up on the preceding day. An airfare is probably out of the question.

As a neutral, there is nothing I love more than the banning of Brumby jack. Brilliant way to promote the game.
It makes the whole thing STINK of that Rah Rah Sydney North Shore "No, you shall pay for your own ticket" kind of thing and breeds parochialism. Connotations of elitism etc.
The Brumbies supporters rightfully kick up a stink which gets more people talking about the game, poor old Brumby Jack etc.
All that needs to happen is that at lunch time on Friday the Waratahs send out a press release saying they've 'caved' into pressure from the ARU and Brumbies and will allow Brumby Jack on the field.
There's a lesson in generating interest here, and judging by Allan's comments in Fairfax papers its been done very deliberately. Good stuff

Like it or not, this is a home game for the Tahs and they do not want to give the opposition the tiniest leg-up in a knock-out game. They want Tahman to have exclusive rights to rev up the crowd, have him being picked up by TV cameras not the Brumby mascot. Its marketing 101. Don't let your competitor get a look in. Not ever!
I remember the game in 2008 when Tah Man arrived in a Blackhawk helicopter.
It was amazing having such a massive aircraft inside the stadium (although I couldn't help but think how many thousands of people could die if it went horribly wrong).
I wonder if they're planning a grand entrance on Saturday night?

As long as we've already got his ticket money. And he doesn't shit on the field.

How come no one thought to apply the same rules about toiletting behaviour to Jerry Collins?

And when you have no regard for personal safety, as Beau would seem not to.
